Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 While going through my soon-to-be-husband's insurance benefits manual, we found coverage exists for surgery for morbid obesity. His company's insurance is self-funded too. (We had planned to marry November 10). Now I have alot of questions. T. if you don't mind someone else leaning on you HELP, please. My existing coverage is through BC/BS of SC 100% funded by my employer. I know the potential war that exists there. I don't want to drop this coverage because of my daughter. Once we are married he can cover me within the 30 day period. Now all of the questions: 1. Is morbid obesity considered pre-existing? Would this apply if I have existing health coverage? 2. There is a clause under the coordination of benefits which states that if the " other plan does not incorporate a coordination of benefits provision it is the primary plan " and the plan covering the patient as an employee is the primary plan. does this mean that if BC/BS turns me down this plan will automatically pick it up? 3. This plan will always pay either its regular benefits in full or a reduced amount when added to other plans benefits so that coverage will be equal to 100% of allowable expenses. does that give me more fighting power with BC/BS? , at one time you had posted your telephone number. I have given my notebook with contacts and all relavent info to my PCP for him to review. Could you either e-mail privately with this or post again. I really would like to talk with you about this. (We may move our wedding date up just to put this into action). I am so excited about this discovery. Thanks to everyone for being there and being encouraging...Prayers can truly be answered. Eagerly, enthusiasticly, and more than anxiously awaiting, A-J Hopefully doing the dance sooner than expected. home or office or mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
